Devs, please reconsider experience in the Occult Crescent

[Guthcat]

I know it's probably too late now, but it's really annoying that you can spend so many hours in content and not get any experience out of it. I was really hoping Occult Crescent would be more like Bozja in that it gave you real experience rather than a weird experience that's only applicable in the field operation like Eureka.

I think they ended up doing this because we're also going to have a Deep Dungeon. Deep Dungeon is what you'll be able to use to level up. Not a bad idea, since PotD to this day stays populated thanks to it.

It was just due to the lack of a deep dungeon in Shadowbringers tbh.

It's easy to level jobs anyway. You have so many options. Beast tribes, FATE farming, daily hunt bills, roulettes and eventually the deep dungeon.

Not having a good way to level until over a year into the expansion is certainly a decision.

what are you talking about
there is a million ways to level already
holy shit people do we play the same game?

You can legit just idle in crystalline conflict and gain super fast exp while watching netflix. Just be active enough to try.
That combined with daily roulettes and youre golden with leveling jobs.

The bait is strong with this one.

Yeah- uh- XP in Bozja was nice, but we didn't have XP in Eureka and it wasn't a problem there either. I am not a powergamer, and I maxed all my combat jobs this time around by doing Pelupelu quests daily and a single frontline + leveling roulette. I don't know what they did in DT, but it's far easier to max jobs from 90-100 than it was in ShB or EW in their level ranges.

[CaptainLagbeard]

FATEs do give a decent amount of XP, and you have the weekly challenge log to do 10 FATEs for another chunk of XP.
Doing all the Roulettes gives like a minimum of 2 levels daily.
You have the combat Beast Tribe quests.

And you can always just spam dungeons to level, unless you get a bad enough group that somehow has lower DPS than a trust party it's not all that bad.

Maybe I should rephrase what I said.

Yoshida referred to the Deep Dungeon as "the levelling content" in the interview, so I found it strange that such content would be added so late in the expansion.

I personally don't have much of an issue with levelling in this game. Roulettes are alright, and I think some people are in too much of a rush to reach max level. It would be nice to have something less tedious and repetitive than overworld FATEs that isn't daily limited, but still.
